Klein Competition Commissioned Work PDFs and Recordings
Below are complete PDF versions of a number of unaccompanied works commissioned by the Klein Competition. The composers have generously granted permission so that we can offer these as a resource to string players, and the pieces may be downloaded and performed free of charge.
Please let us know if you’ll be performing a work in public, and if possible, please attribute the work as having been “commissioned by the Irving M. Klein International String Competition.”
For many of the works, a representative recording from the Klein Competition is also included.
